Fastest way to get rid of verrucas ?

One of my foot has 6. I couldn't do anything to it while pregnant and breastfeeding.
Gp said to use verrugon but it looks like I'm in for months... Any other solution?
Gp doesn't want to "burn" them.

Also interested. Have just one but wish it bloddy went away...

Fastest route is getting them burned or cut out by GP. Slower, less of a shock of pain route is using the freeze thingy or stick on acid plasters that you replace each day (as they remove layers of skin).

I reason MN to paint them with black nail varnish to starve them of light and I did and they were completely gone in 10 days.

I've heard rubbing them with banana skin or a cut potato works, or sticking silver duct tape on it... didn't work for me!

Currently I'm going to chiropodist fortnightly to have chemicals applied. Hasn't made a huge difference yet, but I live in hope! I'm breastfeeding my DD, and have been told it's ok, just not when pregnant.
